Quote by: xyzer  Interesting approach and article... rm!
Scientists are attempting to politicise scientific findings...The collective results of various studies are collated by a political body(IPCC), intepreted and defined in totality as dogma. A result that stresses a gloomy outlook.
We've read Pooeys frequent insistance that the IPCC is correct in its alarmist predictions because its summaries are based on scientific studies? We are not allowed to question the dogma or any flaws in the studies that produced this new dogma. why? Because we are not scientists! |
Would you challenge a doctor's opinion if he diagnosed you with a disease? Of course, you'd ask for a second opinion. So what if an entire hospital's staff gave you the same answer? Would you still be in doubt even though you have little to no medical knowledge? Same applies here, if you don't have a good understanding of the science you'll just keep making wrong assumptions and believe misleading information; this thread's content is evidence enough for that.

Quote by: xyzer Humans are responsible for climate change and if humans change their energy consumption habits climate will change? Words like "likely" are used to frighten the inexpert herd into actions without regard to the economic and social impacts! |
Full regard has been given, the IPCC's report is very conserved and does not paint a catastrophic picture as you put it. The Stern reports makes it clear that it is in our economic interest to act now rather than continue stalling. Further more, I have cited articles that tell how we can be more energy efficient to make a difference without the sky falling on our heads as you would have us believe.

Quote by: xyzer When the US Senate and Presidents Clinton and Bush rejected the Kyoto protocol becaused of the uncertainty and economic impacts they were castigated! Opportunisyic clowns like Gore fan the flames and uninformed poltiicians join the circus!
I'm still shaking my head on that one and I'm still a non scientific skeptic! |
I'd more akin it to burying your head in sand. Then adding a tonne of cement on top.
